The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s undeniably thrilling to find words for our strangest feelings…Koenig casts light into lonely corners of human experience…An enchanting book. “ —The Washington Post A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express—until now. Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig set out to fill the gaps in our language of emotion. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows “creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,” says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition—from “astrophe,” the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to “zenosyne,” the sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives. With a gorgeous package and beautiful illustrations throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives, word nerds, and human beings everywhere.

SUMMARY - Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *By reading this summary, you will discover the importance of music in your life, whether you are a music lover, a musician, or not. *You will also discover that : music affects several areas of the brain in both hemispheres, while speech, for example, is located in two areas of your left hemisphere; thinking music activates the cerebral cortex almost as much as hearing it; musical memory is one of the brain's most extensive and resilient networks; music therapy targets an immersed part of the psyche where memory, emotion and identity are intertwined; some humans do not have the neurological faculties to grasp the tonalities or harmonies of music. *The human species is a musical species. Indeed, every human being listens to or practices a form of music. It has always accompanied all the peoples of the Earth who seem to be unable to live without it. Neuroscientists seek to identify the areas of the brain that process music. They study their role in reception, memorization, feeling and expression. Yet music is not biologically essential to life. Could it be because it occupies many brain regions simultaneously that music seems so indispensable? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Arabic Grammar For Beginners: Language of Quran with Transliteration

This is a Classical Arabic Grammar book for those who want to learn Arabic to read and understand Qur'an.It assumes that you know how to read Arabic at a basic level and two chapters are dedicated to revising the basics of alphabets and some additional concepts which are helpful. This book does not teach Arabic from zero knowledge. A teacher is needed to read and write and pronounce Arabic. There are thousands of example, many in the table form which you can use to memorize for vocabulary and practice by hiding the answer columns. Arabic has been updated in this book to correct errors in e-books due to Arabic conversion. Please contact the author if you have an issue. Contact info is on the second page. A new version will be sent. Arabic Ilm-us-sarf or word morphology is the first step in learning classical Arabic. It is the science of word origins. The word Sarf has many meanings but as applied to Arabic grammar, is defined as changing of a root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. As you will learn in this book, 99% of Arabic words start from a three-alphabet root word, which is then changed into different forms to create different meanings. These rotations of the root word are called تَصْريْفٌ tas-reef or inflections. Prophet Sallal-lahu Alaihi Wa Sallam asked his Ummah to learn Arabic because it is the language of the Qur'an, it is his language and it is the language of the people of Jannah. Also, from the words of Imam Shaa-fai, knowledge is what is useful, not what is memorized.

The Feminine Mystique

“If you’ve never read it, read it now.”—Arianna Huffington, O, The Oprah Magazine Landmark, groundbreaking, classic—these adjectives barely do justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine Mystique. Published in 1963, it gave a pitch-perfect description of “the problem that has no name”: the insidious beliefs and institutions that undermined women’s confidence in their intellectual capabilities and kept them in the home. Writing in a time when the average woman first married in her teens and 60 percent of women students dropped out of college to marry, Betty Friedan captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a generation and showed women how they could reclaim their lives.
